Vivek Ram recently finished reading the Valmiki Ramayan myth and found himself unable to accept the peaceful images usually associated with it, and decided to instead create an image of the battle-honed warrior with only his rudraksha beads for armor and a layer of grime as a badge.
I wanted to show Ram in a really dynamic pose in the midst of Battle, with a War cry and ready to unleash his anger. I also wanted his pose to be in complete balance like that of a dancer with every gesture to be more deliberate than random. I also paid attention to how he would hold his arrow to show a sense of ease and experience in battle.
He build the fantastic image using Maya.
